This ninja in Naruto is unscientific

Chapter 231 Monitoring Obito

Konoha Science Research Institute, Building C, Core Laboratory.

Orochimaru was chuckling in a chilling way as he looked at a set of cell slices under the instrument.

"Hehehe... truly perfect activity."

Behind him, several snakes were using their tails to coil around various test tubes and recording plates, acting as fully automated, unpaid experimental assistants.

"Um?"

Suddenly, Orochimaru abruptly raised his head.

His golden vertical pupils instantly contracted to pinpoints, and his tongue excitedly licked his lips.

That was because the sensory barrier he had set up based on the information provided by Nishikawa Tetsu had reacted.

"Finally... has it shown itself?"

"You got away last time, but this time you're in my 'cage,' let's see where you can squeeze in!"

"Bang!"

Orochimaru didn't even have time to leave through the door before he turned into a puff of white smoke and disappeared from the spot.

Only a few small snakes holding test tubes were left staring at each other, then frantically trying to catch the falling instruments.

……

The Uchiha clan's territory, in the outer forest.

This is the private territory of the Uchiha clan. A shadow moved silently between the tree trunks, so fast that it didn't even disturb the wind.

Orochimaru stopped on a branch of a giant tree, his eyes scanning the area below with a cold gaze.

According to my intuition, that anomaly disappeared right here.

"Am I too late?"

Orochimaru frowned, placed his hand on the tree trunk, and activated his sensory ninjutsu.

A faint, earthy, and plant-sap-like scent lingered in the air.

"The mayfly technique... it's quite fast."

Orochimaru sighed with some regret, then looked at an open space not far away.

There, a black-haired boy wearing orange goggles was facing a big tree, striking various extremely embarrassing and cringeworthy poses.

"Take this! The Super Invincible Fireball Technique!"

"Ha! Before this Sharingan, nothing can hide!"

"Rin! Look at me! I'm going to be the Hokage!"

Obito Uchiha was having so much fun acting that he was completely unaware that on the tree branch above his head, a pair of golden snake eyes were watching him with a look of pity for someone with intellectual disabilities.

"This is... Obito Uchiha who awakened the Mangekyou Sharingan?"

Orochimaru's lips twitched.

"Bandit is truly unpredictable; he actually sent such precious materials to monitor this idiot?"

However, this also confirms Nishikawa Tetsu's conjecture.

Madara did not give up on Obito; that old codger hiding underground was still secretly watching this pawn.

"Since the bait is here, the fish will definitely come back."

Orochimaru narrowed his eyes and formed hand seals.

"Shadow Clone Technique".

"Bang!"

A clone that looked exactly like Orochimaru, but with a much more sinister aura, appeared beside him.

"Go keep an eye on this kid."

Orochimaru, in his true form, gave the following order to his clone:

"Don't alert him, and don't worry about what stupid things he's doing. You only have one task—wait for that white thing to reappear."

"learn."

The clone nodded, its body twisted, and it merged directly into the tree trunk beneath its feet, leaving only its eyes visible, staring intently at Obito below who was practicing his "cool hand seals."

……

The next few days were nothing short of mental torture for Orochimaru's clone.

He was forced to watch Obito Uchiha's silly daily life up close and from a first-person perspective.

first day.

They helped an elderly woman cross the road with some soil, but because they were too enthusiastic, they knocked out her dentures. The two of them then lay in the middle of the road for half an hour searching for the dentures.

Orochimaru clone: ​​"..."

the next day.

Because he had a mission, Obito got up very early.

As a result, on the way, in order to rescue a cat trapped in a tree, he fed the cat his breakfast and went to the meeting on an empty stomach, and was even late.

Orochimaru's clone rolled its eyes on the tree.

Day three.

Obito was practicing by the river when he used too much force and flung one of his shoes to the other side. He had to hop home on one foot to get a spare shoe.

Orochimaru's clone was speechless. He began to wonder if Madara was suffering from dementia. How could he possibly be interested in someone like that?

Until the evening of the fourth day.

As usual, Obito sat in front of the memorial stone at the edge of the clan's territory, muttering to himself as if he were talking to someone.

"Grandma, I did another good deed today..."

Just then.

Orochimaru's clone, which had been in a dormant standby state, suddenly opened its eyes.

coming!

That familiar, plant-scented vibration!

At the edge of his perception barrier, the soil on the ground twitched extremely slightly.

A pitcher plant-like creature, half black and half white, silently emerged from the ground, revealing only half its head. It was hiding in the shadow of the memorial stone, watching Obito with a sinister gaze.

absolutely.

"Finally, they've dared to show their faces."

Orochimaru's clone hid inside the tree trunk, his fingers slightly clenched.

Logically, at this point, one should act immediately, use the Shadow Serpent Hand to bind it tightly, and then take it back to the lab for dissection.

However, Orochimaru held back.

He didn't move; he even stopped breathing.

He pulled out a miniature device from his pocket that even Nishikawa Tetsu had never seen before—a chakra band recorder that he had just rushed to make in the last two days.

"Catching you is easy, but if you're caught, there will be thousands upon thousands more."

Orochimaru's eyes gleamed with rationality.

"I agree with what Chejun said: Technology is for solving fundamental problems."

"What I want is not to capture you, but to analyze you."

Instead of launching an attack, he adjusted the frequency of the instrument and began collecting every fluctuation emanating from Jue's body.

Orochimaru moved with extreme caution, afraid that he might accidentally scare away this precious experimental subject.

"I see... It's not simply about concealing chakra."

Orochimaru stared at the fluctuating data on the instrument, his grin widening.

"Are you deceiving sensory ninjutsu by mimicking the bioelectric signals of the surrounding plants?"

"Just like a chameleon changing its skin color, you are changing your chakra frequency."

"That's why ordinary sensory barriers are useless against you."

"but……"

Orochimaru's fingers moved rapidly across the instrument.

"If I record the frequency of your imitation and then set a reverse band filter..."

"Turn passivity into initiative."

"The moment you appear, my barrier will immediately lock onto you."

The creature below had no idea that it had been used as a guinea pig.

It was still dutifully monitoring Obito, inwardly mocking Konoha's barrier as utterly ineffective.

"This Uchiha brat has been living too comfortably lately. Lord Madara might be unhappy..." Zetsu muttered to himself.

Completely unaware, a pair of greedy eyes were watching over it from the tree above, seeing right through its underwear.

Ten minutes later.

Jue seemed to have observed enough, and slowly sank underground and disappeared.

"Data collection complete."

Inside the tree trunk, Orochimaru's clone put away the equipment, his face full of satisfaction.

"Now, it's not just Uchiha clan territory."

"Once I update this new algorithm to the entire village's barrier, the whole of Konoha will become a transparent cage for you."

Goodbye, little white mouse.

Orochimaru's clone stuffed the extremely sophisticated chakra wave recorder into the mouth of a small white snake that had already been summoned, and patted its head.

"Hiss—" The little white snake swallowed the instrument, skimmed along the grass, and swam swiftly towards the scientific research institute like an arrow released from a bow.

After doing all this, the clone formed a hand seal with satisfaction and turned into a wisp of white smoke, dissipating into the air.

……

Meanwhile, at the Konoha Science Research Institute, the core underground laboratory in Building C.

Orochimaru himself was sitting upright in front of the lab table, holding a dropper, preparing to conduct the next cell fusion test.

Suddenly, his movements froze.

"Bang!"

After the clone dissipated, the memories of those four days and four nights flooded into his brain like a tsunami.

"Clang!"

Orochimaru dropped the dropper from his hand onto the lab table, where it shattered into pieces.

He clutched his head in agony, his usually cold and composed pale face contorted in pain, and fine beads of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

This is not because of chakra depletion, nor because of any mental attack.

I was completely mentally corrupted by "Obito Uchiha's Silly Daily Life" during those four days.

Helping an old lady find her dentures, feeding breakfast to stray cats, throwing shoes across the river, striking all sorts of embarrassing, childish poses while yelling at tree trunks, and even confessing his love to animals in the forest...

These images played on a loop in Orochimaru's mind like a revolving lantern.

"That's terrifying..."

Orochimaru, the legendary Sannin of Konoha who had experienced mountains of corpses and seas of blood, was now leaning against the experimental table, panting with lingering fear.

He suppressed the urge to hang Obito up and beat him up, and raised his head.

"Hiss—"

A faint sound came from the vent. The little white snake that had swallowed the recorder crawled in, climbed up the table leg to Orochimaru, opened its mouth, and spat the tiny device covered in slime into the tray.

Upon seeing this, Orochimaru's annoyance vanished instantly.

He didn't bother wiping away the slime and directly connected the recorder to the lab's main unit.

"Beep—Data loading..."

Orochimaru's eyes were fixed on the screen.

"Found it..."
